A systematic approach to the product development process opens the way to robust and innovative products, even with complex and contradictory requirements. Different solution methods in interaction with design systematics form the basis for successful product developments.
Methodological approach
M.TEC always uses different solution methods and creative techniques that complement each other in all areas of product development. At the beginning of the project, a holistic situation analysis and systematic consideration of the task take place to figure out the fundamental problems. This approach, after 25 years of application in various industries, has proven to be very valuable.
Conception / feasibility study (definition phase)
- Collecting the requirements in the specifications
- Analysis of the initial situation/problem in all its aspects (product definition, concepts, supplier structure, logistics, product service, recycling, legal issues, costs)
- Clarification of the boundary conditions
- Development of an individual approach
- Formulating and questioning the task
- Concretization of the requirements in the specifications; close coordination with customers
Design systematics / brainstorming (development phase)
Development: Detailing/design and verification
FMEA, geometry, kinematics, stress, energy conversion, material conversion, materials, signal conversion, safety, design, production, control, assembly
Development methods and creative techniques in interaction
Brainstorming, Brainwriting, Mindmapping, QFD (Quality Function Deployment), TRIZ, VDI 2221 / 2222, other creative techniques
Methodical support of creativity
- Ensuring a high degree of innovation and short development times
- Use in interdisciplinary project teams and workshops
- Constant check/protection through simulation
Definition of product functionalities
- Each requirement is defined in a function
- Solution search for individual functions
- Solutions for functions are independent of each other
Realization
- Validation
- Tool Technology
- Plant engineering
- Process development
- Qualification of the components
- Qualification of the processes
- Release
Project planning / organization
- Set dates/milestones
- Development phases
- Supplier structure
- Technical documentation
- Legal issues
- Costs
Independence of sectors
The principles and issues are cross-industry. M.TEC works successfully as a product developer in various industries: automotive, medical technology, household appliances, building technology, electronic devices.
We unite interdisciplinary know-how in product development.
